I heard about a public-driven journalism website from a friend, http://www.citizenside.com and I uploaded some photos I took of the 'cells' that appeared all over the main street, Rustaveli, Freedom Square and around the Parliament building yesterday morning.
These metal framed cuboids covered in plastic sheeting are housing protesters claiming the president Saakashvili has been wrongly imprisoning people. When I took photos some people were still sleeping on makeshift beds inside the symbolic cells.
I was pleased to see my photos validated by the website and they appeared on the front page getting lots of exposure! The link to my story is here.
